Regulations of the City of New York make it illegal to hail a taxi cab for another person unless first solicited by the prospective passenger.  The same Regulation makes it illegal to hitchhike, to open a car door for another, to jaywalk, and, of course, to stand in front of an oncoming car.  And should you need to educate a Squeegee who insists upon cleaning your windshield, show him New York City Rules, Title 34, § 4-04.
